Early Energy Therapy Book, Of Historical Interest
19 Oct 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
***
This book deals with eating for reasons other than hunger, and maintains that the reason people do this is that they are anxious. The author believes that what is actually going on when people overeat is that their body's electrical or energetic system is out of balance. Their systems can be rebalanced so that overeating is no longer necessary. Thus, the cause of the problem is dealt with instead of the symptoms. It explores this phenomenon of eating when not hungry and offers a cure via the "Callahan Techniques", a precursor to EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). Callahan Techniques involves using specific algorithms to deal with overeating, gluttony, impatience to lose weight, etc. to rid the body of energy blockages. This book was interesting historically for me; it was a bit of energy therapy history since it was written over fifteen years ago.
The book is written in a sales pitch style; fifteen years ago these ideas were new and readers would need to be persuaded of their veracity. Today, there is more openness to and familiarity with energy therapy, so the style of this book is a bit off-putting.
The Callahan Techniques involves tapping on various of the body's acupuncture points while saying various affirmation statements. The steps are illustrated in the book and are very easy to follow.
This book would be somewhat useful for anyone dealing with eating when not hungry, if the reader can get past the writing style. It also would be of interest to current EFT practitioners wanting to read an early energy therapy book. However, much more useful would be any book written today on EFT, and there are many. I especially recommend "The Promise of Energy Psychology".
